This new parameter allows user specifies where the client
cerficate, client key, CA certificate of x509 is, instead of
hardcoding it. If 'pkipath' is not specified, and the user
is not root, try to find files in $HOME/.pki/libvirt, as long
as one of client cerficate, client key, CA certificate can
not be found, use default global location (LIBVIRT_CACERT,
LIBVIRT_CLIENTCERT, LIBVIRT_CLIENTKEY, see
src/remote/remote_driver.h)
Example of use:
[root@Osier client]# virsh -c qemu+tls://10.66.93.111/system?pkipath=/tmp/pki/client
error: Cannot access CA certificate '/tmp/pki/client/cacert.pem': No such file
or directory
